I have not figured out a way to enable clear text passwords for the entire OS (just user by user). A better solution would be to enable encrypted passwords on your AFP server. We are in the process of updating our AFP server to accept encrypted passwords to get around these issues.

I used Night Production's Pref Setter and it worked beautifully. However, now when I am connecting to my site, I get an additional error that prevents me from getting connected. I get the error: _____ A volume failed to mount. The volume “Home Directory” could not be mounted. _____ Do you have any suggestions? Steven,
